He praised the late Mr. Buncombe , of Canterbury, as a pleasing man. 'He used to come to me: I did not seek much after him. Indeed I never sought much after any body. BOSWELL. 'Lord Orrery , I suppose. JOHNSON. 'No, Sir; I never went to him but when he sent for me. BOSWELL. 'Richardson ? JOHNSON. 'Yes, Sir. But I sought after George Psalmanazar the most.
Dryden's first experiment in this drama was the Rival Ladies, in which the tragic portions are composed in rhyme, blank verse being reserved for the parts approaching comedy.

BOSWELL. 'Richardson? JOHNSON. 'Yes, Sir. But I sought after George Psalmanazar the most. I used to go and sit with him at an alehouse in the city.
He likewise is said to have written a "History of the Four last Years of Queen Anne," which he began in her lifetime, and afterwards laboured with great attention, but never published. It was after his death in the hands of Lord Orrery and Dr. King. A book under that title was published with Swift's name by Dr.
He is noted for having been the first to write tragedy in rhyme, thereby setting an example that was followed with avidity for a time by Dryden and others. He also wrote poems, a romance called Parthenissa , and a Treatise on the Art of War . From whatever point of view considered, Lord Orrery was a remarkable member of a remarkable family.
